Does this throw any light on the card requirements?

Is a UHS-II card a "Type II card" which the manual says "cannot be
used"?


Yup!

So now we know, the problem was, Peter was using a card which the D800
couldn't support. This time he actually had too much card for the camera.

There is nothing wrong with the card, and he should be able to use it in his
D500. That will handle UHS-II cards.

For other reasons, I had decided not to do business with the local store
who sold me the Delkin, knowing it was for the D800.
The Delkin was manufactured long after the D800 manual was printed.
However, I am not taking any chances. That card has been trashed.
I will be talking to Nikon support about this question.


It should work fine in your D500. I hope that was just a figurative trashing.

BTW. This article implies backward compatibility:
